Following along with loads of interest. Im doing a 58 right now, i had a twisted cab! Got it straighten so the doors now fit. I took the doors off and got them blasted, so you could see all the issues, or pleasent surprises. Mine are solid, just shoping trolley dents. Very rare. Keep going, im with ya!
My 55 is so rusted and has so much bondo I am afraid if I use that tool there won't be anything left! I am going for the rat rod shop truck look anyway and am spraying it with rust textured paint to make it look even more rusty......good job Wally 🤠👍
I have restored 3 trucks and I found sending the big parts to be bead blasted lets me know exactly what I am up against and it’s done in one day. The small parts I put in a refrigerator box and blast them using Glass bead and a Le Mac bead blaster I do it that way so all the paint is removed in one or two days and I can concentrate on the metal work. Some times it is a little disappointing what I have to work with after it comes back. But that’s part of the job .
